Not this guy :roll: This guy couldn’t fight his way out of an empty closet. Now if it was Jet Li, S.L. Jackson, Bruce Willis, then yeah taser that motherfucker, he might kill you if he gets loose or when you’re not looking.
Dude was empty handed wearing a tshirt and shorts and a Kerry debate/ open house. Where is he supposed to hide the weapons? If there are 5 cops kneeing him into the ground, I’m pretty sure they would have found some weapons if he had them.
I’m not saying the idiot isn’t responsible for what happened to him. He’s a douche, that is obvious. The cops didn’t need to taser him though. You can’t tell me with all the “training” cops have to disarm/control suspects that 5 of them needed a taser for a dude already face down on the ground and in handcuffs.

but you are acting like tasering is on the same level as flogging.
i agree he doesnt look like he is a threat. but when there are lives at risk there is wayyyy too much gray area to try and let people decide that.
he needed to be tasered because its the safest way to subdue someone who is resisting arrest. PERIOD. safer than wrestling someone. safer than trying to get them to cooperate at gun point. and it is sure as hell much easier than shooting them with a ray-gun that makes them vomit and shit their pants. which cinciPD swat already has their hands on. that will be for special cases only obviously since you dont want to be handling this guy on the ground covered in shit n’ vomit
if you search for this guy online, you will see he perfomrs stunts like this often. he was doing it for show. he wasnt going to cooperate because he had an agenda. tase him
edit: and about hiding weapons. thats again a very gray area. you want to get him cuffed. you do not want to be frisking someone while other people are cuffing them because he might have a weapon etc. no, it isnt efficient.
rule 1. listen to cops.
rule 2 if you dont, you suffer consequences
it is the only way to take the gray area out of the equation the best you can. it will never be 100% but this is the closest
